| I fly in the South of England and use Farnborough Radar (125.250), Solent Radar (120.230) and others. Unfortunately they never show up in Enroute Frequencies. I do see a long list of London Control Center frequencies that we never need. Can I change the criteria for displaying Enroute Frequencies in my Avidyne 540? |

There is no option for this on the IFDs. The Avidyne is very US-centric in this area and the frequencies and ATS unit structure is very different in Europe, incl by country. I have always had a similar complaint about FIS frequencies which are also missing. ------------- Vince |

| Thanks Vince. Perhaps as more people buy IFD's in the UK this will be addressed. I do love my Avidyne and there are few things I would want to change. Airspace priority is one of them which I will ask about in a new Post. I now suspect the UK vs US difference is a factor. |

I wonder how much of that is a Jeppesen database issue and not an Avidyne issue? |

I wonder too. If may be that the frequencies are simply missing from the Jepp navdata. We'll see if Avidyne adds any comment. ------------- Vince |

The Jeppesen database has the data. We've done some work in 10.3.2.2 to include better support for FIS, but I just checked and the two frequencies mentioned by Dominic in the original post are still not included. ------------- Steve Lindsley Avidyne Engineering |

How about the two FIS in Switzerland: Zurich Info 124.70 and Geneva Info 126.350? ------------- Vince |
